So how far back does your Mopar experience go?
I was born in 1947. When my Dad got out of the Army after WWII in 1945, there was a car shortage so he had to settle for a used '41 Nash. He had it for about 4 years but he couldn't keep it running right. He was a poor mechanic, so he asked his friends and neighbors to help him fix it, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Then in late '51 he bought a new more-door Dodge Coronet. He really liked that car because it was very dependable. When he decided to replace it in '56, he bought a new Plymouth Savoy with the 277 CI "Hy-fire" V8 and the 2-speed Powerflite, and he really liked that one, too. I do remember that when he saw the 1957 "suddenly it's '60!" styling, he wished he had waited for the '57s.
